Wisdom Is Better Than Strength: An Intimate Discussion of the Erosion of Education in America - Softcover

Americans need to know that the public education system in America is rapidly eroding and is in need of a quick fix. You also need to know that there are solutions, a matter that I will discuss in this book. Concerned citizens have attempted for years to get education leaders to evaluate and reform education to meet the needs of a rapidly growing global society. It is interesting that power-hungry people in positions of authority value their positions and privileges more than the children whose futures they are destroying. They do not want American citizens to know the truth about what is really going on in the schools and classrooms. Department of Education gives away millions of dollars in funding to help students who are not achieving at grade level. Yet, little if any change occurs in increasing student achievement. The Department of Education funding provides real educational hope for millions of Americans, yet every twenty-nine seconds a child drops out of school, the achievement gap widens, and more and more students are placed in the juvenile justice system. Wake up, Americans! Read this book and become an advocate for quality education for children.
